| has anyone heard both Bel Canto and W4S amps? Hi Koven,I owned a S300 about a year ago. I currently own the Bel Canto M300 mono amps and I just tried a Wyred4Sound ST-500 which I sold immediately.I found the S300 to be a very pleasant sounding amp but it did not have enough power and control ... | |
| How does the Cambridge Azur 840C sound compared After trying a lot of units including the 840C, I too kept the Sony 5400. I found the 840C a little lean and lacking punch (most noticable on bombastic classical or rock recordings) but otherwise a very fine sounding unit. The 5400 does everything... | |

| Need to buy used integrated about 800 dollars You have some great speakers there. The VR-2 have tremendous bass response capability, but really benefit from an amp that can take control of the woofers.....giving you tight deep bass. Too bad about your NAD, I bet it really sounded great on the... | |
| Which One Amp for the Magnepan 3.6's? For a while, I used a KAV-250A with 1.6QR and thought it was a killer combo in a large dining/living room combo that was 24 x 28. Listening in nearfield, the Krell could drive the 1.6 to very loud levels with trememdous bass, a wide, tall, and ver... | |
| Krell KSA 300S or FPB 300? I owned a KSA-200S and upgraded to a FPB300. I thought it was no contest in favor of the FPB. Compared to the FPB, the KSA sounded undymanic and sounded rolled off at the frequency extremes in my system. The FPB sounded so much more natural at eve... | |
| Sony XA5400ES lack of bass when new? I've had mine since early June. I don't remember it being as bass shy at first listen as you seem to be experiencing. It did smooth out some over the break-in period but I thought it sounded pretty darn good right out of the box. Compared to other... | |

| Which of the Audiogon advertised interconnects? Try the Audio Metallurgy GA-0..........30 day money back guarantee even on auction pricing. Smooth, smooth, smooth, but with plenty of detail, a big soundstage and punchy deep bass. I find them much more neutral than the MAC Palladium or the Signa... | |
| Emerald Physics C2 or Usher BE-718 I've never heard the Ushers. I recently purchased a set of Emerald Physics CS2 and have not looked back. I recently owned Von Schweikert VR-2 and Magnepan 1.6QR which are both outstanding values IMO. But so is the CS2!What I love about the CS2:1. ... | |
| Krell KAV400 VS Musical Fidelity A300 A 3.2 A3.5 I would step up to the Musical Fidelity A5. I have recently downsized from some nice separates and have no regrets. These come onto Audiogon occasionally for about $1500. This unit is extremely musical but also very detailed with deep punchy bass ... | |
| Integrated Owners: I Need an Excellent Power Cord The Morrow Audio MAP-2 is a great cord for $179 and put a few well known and much more espensive cords to shame in my system (DCCA Ref One, LessLoss, PS Audio Statement SC). It has a big soundstage and surprisingly good extension at the frequency ... | |

| Which Herbie's Product is Best? The iso-cups with the standard balls are outstanding. The veils lifted at all frequencies can be jaw dropping. I have them under all of my components with no weaknesses that I can detect. I have found cones to not yield linear results irregardless... | |
